DUCON Clean Air Technology Air Blasts

Air compressed in a high pressure resistant tube is stored between 2-6 bars. The stored air can be normal air or nitrogen. With a piston or diaphragm valve monoblock mounted on the tank or a separate solenoid valve, it is sprayed into the silo suddenly in a short time of microseconds with an adjustable timing and the blocked powdery materials are dissolved and the flow is facilitated.

Air Blast Installation Planning

The pulse tube is determined by taking into account the information that DUCON engineers will provide on site or upon customer request. As a general information, the connection should be mounted so that it is directed downwards at an angle of 0-45°. It should be ensured that there is no obstacle within the spray angle of the pulse tube.


Security

Pulse tubes have an inspection certificate in accordance with the pressure vessels law. Pulse tubes are manufactured to withstand 8 bar pressure.

Impact Power

DUCON pulse tubes are between 60 and 500 kg. Considering these forces, the connection points must be reinforced and the pulse tube must definitely be suspended from the safety ring.

Order Options

If the pulse tube, tank solenoid product discharge valve, safety ring, solenoid are mounted externally, the maximum distance should not be more than 4 m and the pipe diameter should not be more than 8 mm. The timer is provided as an option. Maintenance of well-maintained pulse tubes is very simple. Most of the time, they do not require maintenance

Where does it fit best?

  • Pneumatic conveying is a strong option for cement, fly ash, mineral powders, and fragile bulk-solids transfer where closed handling matters.
  • On long routes, multi-turn lines, and silo transfers, it can offer a more compact solution than mechanical conveyors.
  • Where dust control and housekeeping matter, it supports a cleaner process environment.

Selection criteria

  • Particle size, bulk density, abrasiveness, and fragility are core design inputs.
  • Line length, bend count, air velocity, and pressure regime must be assessed together.
  • The choice between dense and dilute phase should balance energy, wear, and product integrity.

Operation and maintenance notes

  • Feed stability, airlock selection, and line build-up behavior should be monitored routinely.
  • Bend wear, plugging tendency, and blower/compressor loading are the main maintenance themes in the field.
  • If velocity is too high, wear rises; if too low, build-up and plugging become more likely.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you choose between dense and dilute phase?

The decision depends on material sensitivity, line length, wear expectations, and the required transfer regime.

Is pneumatic conveying suitable for every material?

No. Material flow behavior, fragility, and tendency to build up all affect whether pneumatic transport is the right fit.

Which components deserve the closest maintenance attention?

Feed equipment, bends, airlocks, and the blower/compressor package usually need the closest monitoring.
